Green hydrogen: 'Artificial leaf' becomes better under pressure

Hydrogen can be produced via the electrolytic splitting of water. One option here is the use of photoelectrodes that convert sunlight into voltage for electrolysis in so called photoelectrochemical cells (PEC cells). A research team has now shown that the efficiency of PEC cells can be significantly increased under pressure. Read more ›

More electricity from the sun

A coating of solar cells with special organic molecules could pave the way for a new generation of solar panels. This coating can increase the efficiency of monolithic tandem cells made of silicon and perovskite while lowering their cost -- because they are produced from industrial, microstructured, standard silicon wafers.

Gut microbes implicated in bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is the tenth most common type of cancer worldwide and is often linked to exposure to harmful chemicals, such as those found in tobacco smoke. A new study shows that the bacteria in our guts may play an important role in bladder cancer development. The scientists showed experimentally that certain gut bacteria can transform a class of carcinogens, often found in cigarette smoke, into related chemicals that accumulate... Read more ›

Recent volcanic 'fires' in Iceland triggered by storage and melting in crust

Scientists have detected geochemical signatures of magma pooling and melting beneath the subsurface during the 'Fagradalsfjall Fires', that began on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula in 2021. Samples show that the start of the eruption began with massive pooling of magma, contrasting initial hypothesis for magma ascent straight from the mantle. Read more ›

Improving Alzheimer's disease imaging -- with fluorescent sensors

Neurotransmitter levels in the brain can indicate brain health and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. However, the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes delivering fluorescent sensors that can detect these small molecules to the brain difficult. Now, researchers demonstrate a way of packaging these sensors for easy passage across the BBB in mice, allowing for improved brain imaging. With further development, the technology could help advance Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and treatment. Read more ›

For bigger muscles push close to failure, for strength, maybe not

When lifting weights, do you wonder how pushing yourself to the point of failure -- where you can't do another rep -- impacts your results? New research finds that if you're aiming for muscle growth, training closer to failure might be more effective. It doesn't matter if you adjust training volume by changing sets or reps; the relationship between how close you train to failure and muscle growth remains the... Read more ›

A brain fingerprint: Study uncovers unique brain plasticity in people born blind

Neuroscientists reveal that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique connectivity pattern in people born blind. They say this pattern in the primary visual cortex is unique to each person -- akin to a fingerprint. Read more ›
